The status on my case has changed to one I’m not familiar with. What does it mean?

We are updating the case statuses in line with our brand new Customer Support Guidebook. You may notice that a previous status on your case has been updated to a new status. If this has happened and you’d like to check out our status definitions, please read these in the Guidebook above. Click on ‘Tracking a Case’ to jump to the status definitions.

What's the difference between the Support Portal and the Customer Portal?

We've renamed the Support Portal to the Customer Portal and included a few major improvements. You'll still be able to do most of the things you were able to previously do, such as create and track your support requests. Besides the renaming, the new Customer Portal comes with several major changes that target improving our overall customer experience. The most notable change is the ability to use your Insight credentials to log in to the Insight platform and Customer Portal. Single-sign on for the win!

Do I have to log in to the Insight platform to access the Customer Portal?

I don’t have a login to the Insight Platform but I know someone in my company does. Can they add me as a user so I can access the Customer Portal?

Yes, they can add you. They need to be a Platform Admin with the ability to add users.

My Support Account Doesn't Work Anymore

Check your email. You should have received an email with steps to verify your new account. If you haven't received an email, please reach out to your Customer Success Manager directly or have the Rapid7 main account holder email customersuccess@rapid7.com.

The subject of the email should be: "Need Access to Support Portal." Please include the following information in the body of the email:

Why won't my credentials work? I set up my Rapid7 Insight credentials following the instructions in the email.

The email may have expired. Go to https://insight.rapid7.com/login and click on Need help signing in > ‘Haven’t activated your account?. You'll need to provide your email address to reactivate your account.

Why haven't I been able to reset my password? I clicked to resend my password and have not received an email.

Please check that the email has not gone into your junk or spam folders.

Reach out to your Customer Success Manager if you are still having issues.

Please contact our Sales Team at sales@rapid7.com if you do not have a Customer Success Manager.

I’m new to the Rapid7 Insight Platform. How can I get some help on navigating around?

Why have my case numbers changed?

All cases will have a new case number due to the migration to our new Portal. If you have any issues because of this, we will be happy to assist. We have all new case numbers mapped back to the old if these are required. Just send us a reply on the case for which you need the number of and we will update you.

Can I now log a Severity 1 case without calling?

Yes.

Does moving to the Platform mean my data is now in the cloud?

No. We are just adding an account for you on the Platform. Your data will not be moved unless you request this.

I’ve been sent a ‘Welcome to the Insight platform’ email and I’m unsure what it is about?

This is a registration email to the Insight platform. These are sent out when you have been set up with a user account on the Platform.

If you have not requested to be migrated to the platform for your product data then this will be because we have set you up with an account in order to access the Customer Portal. There is no data involved with this and data will not be moved to the cloud. To access the Customer Portal you log in to the Platform and click on ‘Contact Support’ from the ‘Help’ dropdown menu.

I had access to the old Support Portal and now when I log into the Insight Platform and click on ‘Contact Support’, I get an SSO error. What do I do?

Your username must match the one you used for the old Support Portal. Check that your email address you are using for your username to login is the same as you used previously to access the old Support Portal. If you are using a different email address on the Insight Platform than before, then you can do any of the following:

Add a new user to the Platform or have your Platform admin add a new user with the same email address as before. Log in as this user and click ‘Contact Support’.

Update your email address on the Platform by adding a new user to the Platform or have your Platform admin add a new user with the same email address as before, and then remove your old user name. Log in as this new user, and then click ‘Contact Support’.

Contact your CSM and request that your email address is updated on our side so that you can access the Customer Portal.

I am getting a blank page when I try to access the Insight Platform login page. What do I need to whitelist?

It may be due to restrictions on domains you can browse. You will need to whitelist these domains to view the page and login:
